Visitor Policy

Interview with Jorge and Laura

JM: How often could you receive visitors?
Jorge: Well since I didnt know anyone in town I didnt have anyone ever come to visit me so I dont really know anything about visitation.
Laura: Twice a week. 2 people could come each time for 45 minutes.

JM: Was the check-in process lengthy for those who came to see you?
Jorge: No one ever came to see me not even my sorry ass court appointed lawyer.
Laura: Yes. It would take my family all day to come see me. They would have to wake up super early to start calling to get on the list. Then they would have to show up 45 minutes before the actual visitation time to make sure that they got "patted" down properly.

JM: What was the visiting environment like?
Jorge: I have absolutely no idea what that was like
Laura: You sat across from your loved ones. You can't touch. You are seated next to other inmates so your conversation is not 100% confidential. After the visit you get strip searched to make sure that you are not smuggling things back into jail.
